This was just a power struggle. Protests can be peaceful until they turn violent, simple as that. Good lord, research the pasts protests of civil rights and tell me this is something new or unheard of. While the police use a very heavy hand, the protesters use heavy hands as well. Both parties are guilty of inciting violence. There are fucked up people on both sides of the line and to deny that is to be biased to the upmost. The clash of these two groups do not herald the arrival of a police state, they exhibit the visceral pulse of our Democracy at work. Fact is, there is no Police State at work, just a symptom of the law vs. the people and it's been that way since the inception and subsequent balance of our young but rapidly growing Democracy.

AMEN.
I used to be a "conspiracy theory" nut too, like the original poster - until I starting ACTUALLY studying history (Not from school, OR from stupid conspiracy websites) , and learning what is REALLY going on in the world.
This is nothing new. This is nothing to be alarmed about. For fucks sake - I didnt see the authorities hurting anybody.
I saw a bunch of loud mouth trouble starters, being kept in line.
Sorry to be frank - but really - why would the police NOT be there to make sure nothing bad happens?
History Fact #73843: Sometimes, when people gather together and are very passionate about something, they committ crimes or assaults.
